Goodyear FTW :afro:

Goodyears EF1s also get my vote :)
I havent tried many others but have the Goodyears on at the moment and they have been stella so far.

F1's are the king of road tyres. Assuming you have 205/55 16's as standard, you will need 225/40 18's to keep the same rolling radius.

GY have not confirmed the release of the Asys in 205/55 16's as of about 3 weeks a go, so it's not looking good. They do them in 225/45 17's, though.

Go for the Asym's, Rich. They came out top in a magazine test not so long a go, & they're only a fiver more per corner than the GS-D3's (225/40 18's). :wink:
